After watching Nigella Lawson’s Cook, Eat, Repeat Christmas Special (which celebrates Scandinavian cooking), Daniela went back to her old photos and revisited a Christmas memory she has with her Danish family while living abroad. She says:
“Having Christmas away from home was very emotional for me and I missed being in Brazil for the holidays, but thankfully the Danish are, in my opinion, the most non-Latin Latin people ever… their traditions make you feel warm and loved, and very full 🙏! We sat around the table, chatting, cooking, telling stories, laughing and tasting the most delicious food with my Uncle’s partner’s father, Poul, a sweet elegant gentleman who has a spectacular moustache and his wife Tanja who is a force of nature, beautiful and has amazing cooking skills. Poul made us his version of Jansson’s Frestelse the night before Christmas, it’s delicious and the perfect winter meal.”
